Again, Erev Shabbat is approaching and actually we were planning to join the Maariv - prayer at the great synagogue of Chassidut Gur (Yiddish: Ger). However, I just spoke to a few Gerer Chassidim and was told that their Rebbe is not coming to Jerusalem tonight. Instead, he is staying at home in Bnei Brak.
The Rebbe might be coming to Jerusalem in about two weeks or more. If anyone is interested in going to Gur:
1. There will not be a Tish in Jerusalem for the coming two weeks.
2. The Shabbat prayer does not take place in their great synagogue but in the Gerer Beit Midrash in Ge'ulah.
The present Rebbe of Chassidut Gur: Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Alter
As I am female, I am not allowed to go to the Gerer Rebbe's Tish but I was told (by men) that the Tish is only for 1,5 hours. The Rebbe quickly eats and finishes his Tish rather early, as he very much emphasizes Gemara - studies. And this is what they do right after the Tish: studying Gemara.
Nevertheless, we will see which Tishes are on tonight and I will let you know on Sunday.
Have a great Shabbat - Shabbat Shalom - Gid Shabbes from Jerusalem.
